WHEELED TOY.

Application filed October 28, 1925.

My said invention relates to a toy wagon and it is an object of the same to provide a device of this character which shall be simple and inexpensive and calculated to amuse children.

Referring to the accon'ipanying drawings, which are made a part hereof and on which similar reference characters indicate similar parts,

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my device,

Figure 2, a plan, and

Figure 3, a rear elevation partly in section.

In the drawings reference character it) in dicates an axle at each end of which a wheel 11 is provided, these wheels being secured to the axle in any desired manner and being here shown as secured to the axle by screws '12. At the upper side of the axle up ward projections are provided for. supporting disks 13 which may also be secured in place by screws 1a. Spacers 15 may be provided underneath the wheels for the purpose of diminishing the friction. A handle or tongue 16 projects forward from the vehicle, it being secured to the axle at the underside thereof and the axle being cut away at an incline to accomn odatc the tongue as indicated in dotted lines in Figure 1.

It will be seen that the disks 13 rest at their outer periphery on the wheels 11 so that the disks will turn when the wheels turn. The disks 1;) are preferably beaded or provided with concentric ridges as clearly shown in Figure 3 and may also have a cir cumferential groove at 17. The different ridges and grooves at the top are painted in contrasting colors and the side faces of the disks may be painted in attractive colors as well as the outer faces of the wheels 11. One design is indicated in Fig. 1 where the outer face of a Wheel is divided by a circle Serial No. 65,448.

of paint of one color, the inner and outer portions of the wheel being painted in other colors.

For example the three colors on the face of the wheel may be red, white and blue.

Radial markings are also provided at 18 on the upper face of the disks 13 which markings are alternately light and dark as seen in Figure 2.

It will he seen that when the toy vehicle is moved along a floor or other surface the rotation of the wheels will cause the disks to rotate and the movement of the variously colored parts will produce interesting ings and only as indicated in the appended claim. Having thus fully described my s "l described in the specification but vention, what I claim as new and desre to secure by Letters Patent, is:

A wheeled toy comprising an axle having relatively broad flat end surfaces and spaced laterally extending bosses provided with relatively broad flat end surfaces, a wheel mounted at each flat end of said axle and having its radius substantially coextensive with the laterally extending bosses, and a relatively thick disk said bosses and extending over and en! the (lllCllDTlQlGIltG ot the ad acent wheel mounted on each. of ing whereby the same will be rotated by said wheel upon the propulsion of the toy, substantially as set forth.

n wi. ness wi re rave ier unto se' I t V l e of, I l l e t my hand at Indianapolis, Indiana, this 24th day of October, A. 1). nineteen hundred and twenty-five.
